Matthew Boulton, COO at Solarcentury said: “Trina Solar is a new partner for Solarcentury and as a leading global brand, it was an obvious choice as part of establishing Solarcentury in new countries. Trina Solar was able to support the tight timelines required to fulfil the project and provided regular communication and support from its UK team.”
Over the last few years we have expanded our presence in Latin America and this project marks a major milestone for us,” said Zhiguo Zhu, COO and President of Module Business Unit at Trina Solar. “Thanks to its good climate, the region is well suited to solar PV generation, and has abundant space. With an increasing demand for electricity in the area, the solar farm will diversify the energy mix and thus drive an efficient and clean supply of energy.”
Trina Solar noted the PV power plant would be one of the largest in Panama connected to the grid and will sell the electricity generated to the local spot market.
Project timelines and financial details were not disclosed.
